So that, to me, is important that audiences are treated with an amount of respect toward their intelligence. Most Hollywood films don't respect their intelligence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel audiences are not given enough credit for their intelligence.
The intelligence of cinema-goers should be respected.
Audiences are smarter than ever; they know if filmmakers cheat an environment.
I think that if Hollywood has a problem, it constantly underestimates the intelligence and integrity of fans.
You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.
What frustrates me a lot about some aspects of filmmaking is people thinking everyone is really dumb and that we have to make everything really obvious.
I think there's still an appetite among a certain audience to see intelligent movies that have real emotion in them.
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
I've always said that the word 'genius,' especially in Hollywood, is way overused.
Audiences aren't fools - their judgement really is important. And the true heroes of films are the investors. They take the risk, after all.
